- Intervention effect Transgenic pepper pvr1(2) expression conferred PVY resistance in potato.
- Intervention effect Potato plants overexpressing the mutated allele resisted virus infection.
- Observation Resistant lines expressed high eIF4E mRNA and protein levels.
- Observation Resistant potato plants grew similarly to untransformed controls.
- Observation Resistant potato plants produced tubers phenotypically similar to controls.
